Board and Batten Siding Installation
Every installation starts with sheathing wrapped in house wrap. We fasten the boards with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails, then set battens over the seams. You choose the board width and whether you want a standard or reverse batten layout. Horizontal joints get Z-flashing, and where a wall needs it, we add furring strips to create a rainscreen gap.
Board and Batten Siding Repair
We fix split or rotted boards, loose or cupped battens, and popped nails. Damaged sections are cut out with an oscillating multi-tool and replaced with matching stock. For small checks and nail holes, exterior wood filler or paintable polyurethane caulk does the job, with no full board replacement required.
Board and Batten Siding Replacement
We pull off old or failing siding with a flat bar and inspect the sheathing for rot. Then we put down fresh house wrap and flashing and install new boards and battens.
Board and Batten Siding Painting
We scrape and sand away loose paint and prime any bare wood. Then we brush or spray on two coats of exterior acrylic latex, working the paint into the batten edges.
